Worship into the Week- Israel's Watchman

 

Worship into the Week-

Ezekiel 33:7-9  Ezekiel as Israel's Watchman

God appoints the prophet Ekekiel as a "spiritual watchman".

 His job was to warn the people that their choices and sin 

had consequences. 

This was the beginning of the mapping out

 a plan of accountability.

As ancient cities used guards on the towers

 to look for danger,

so was Ezekiel to spot the impending challenge.

He was to share God's words 

with the people and warn them.

If he fails to warn them, 

then Ezekiel is responsible for the damage

 if they die in their sins.

Silence does not release him 

from the guilt of their failure.

But, if he warns them and they don't take heed, 

he is not at fault.

Once you know- you know.

So, we too must heed the warnings 

for obedience in God's Word.

We know the right way is to follow Jesus

and obey God's direction in our lives.

Silence Carries Guilt: If God warns that a wicked person faces judgment and Ezekiel fails to speak up, the wicked person dies in their sin, but God holds Ezekiel responsible for their blood. [1, 2]
